Returns the first element or elements.
With no argument, returns the first element, or nil if there is none:
(1..4).first # => 1 %w[a b c].first # => "a" {foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 2}.first # => [:foo, 1] [].first # => nil
With integer argument n, returns an array containing the first n elements that exist:
(1..4).first(2) # => [1, 2] %w[a b c d].first(3) # => ["a", "b", "c"] %w[a b c d].first(50) # => ["a", "b", "c", "d"] {foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 2}.first(2) # => [[:foo, 1], [:bar, 1]] [].first(2) # => []
Returns the element with the minimum element according to a given criterion. The ordering of equal elements is indeterminate and may be unstable.
With no argument and no block, returns the minimum element, using the elements’ own method <=> for comparison:
(1..4).min # => 1 (-4..-1).min # => -4 %w[d c b a].min # => "a" {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.min # => [:bar, 1] [].min # => nil
With positive integer argument n given, and no block, returns an array containing the first n minimum elements that exist:
(1..4).min(2) # => [1, 2] (-4..-1).min(2) # => [-4, -3] %w[d c b a].min(2) # => ["a", "b"] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.min(2) # => [[:bar, 1], [:baz, 2]] [].min(2) # => []
With a block given, the block determines the minimum elements. The block is called with two elements a and b, and must return:
A negative integer if a < b.
Zero if a == b.
A positive integer if a > b.
With a block given and no argument, returns the minimum element as determined by the block:
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].min {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => "x" h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.min {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [:foo, 0] [].min {|a, b| a <=> b } # => nil
With a block given and positive integer argument n given, returns an array containing the first n minimum elements that exist, as determined by the block.
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].min(2) {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["x", "xx"] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.min(2) {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]] [].min(2) {|a, b| a <=> b } # => []
Returns a 2-element array containing the minimum and maximum elements according to a given criterion. The ordering of equal elements is indeterminate and may be unstable.
With no argument and no block, returns the minimum and maximum elements, using the elements’ own method <=> for comparison:
(1..4).minmax # => [1, 4] (-4..-1).minmax # => [-4, -1] %w[d c b a].minmax # => ["a", "d"] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.minmax # => [[:bar, 1], [:foo, 0]] [].minmax # => [nil, nil]
With a block given, returns the minimum and maximum elements as determined by the block:
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].minmax {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["x", "xxxx"] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.minmax {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [[:foo, 0], [:baz, 2]] [].minmax {|a, b| a <=> b } # => [nil, nil]
Returns whether for any element object == element:
(1..4).include?(2) # => true (1..4).include?(5) # => false (1..4).include?('2') # => false %w[a b c d].include?('b') # => true %w[a b c d].include?('2') # => false {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.include?(:foo) # => true {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.include?('foo') # => false {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.include?(0) # => false
Enumerable#member? is an alias for Enumerable#include?.
Returns an enumerator object generated from this enumerator and given enumerables.
e = (1..3).chain([4, 5]) e.to_a #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Computes the sine of decimal to the specified number of digits of precision, numeric.
If decimal is Infinity or NaN, returns NaN.
BigMath.sin(BigMath.PI(5)/4, 5).to_s #=> "0.70710678118654752440082036563292800375e0"
Enables the coverage measurement. See the documentation of Coverage class in detail. This is equivalent to Coverage.setup and Coverage.resume.
Returns the state of the coverage measurement.
Returns the short user name of the currently logged in user. Unfortunately, it is often rather easy to fool ::getlogin.
Avoid ::getlogin for security-related purposes.
If ::getlogin fails, try ::getpwuid.
See the unix manpage for getpwuid(3) for more detail.
e.g.
Etc.getlogin -> 'guest'
Returns system temporary directory; typically “/tmp”.
Returns a Digest subclass by name
require 'openssl' OpenSSL::Digest("MD5") # => OpenSSL::Digest::MD5 Digest("Foo") # => NameError: wrong constant name Foo
Returns a Digest subclass by name
require 'openssl' OpenSSL::Digest("MD5") # => OpenSSL::Digest::MD5 Digest("Foo") # => NameError: wrong constant name Foo
Shows the prompt and reads the inputted line with line editing. The inputted line is added to the history if add_hist is true.
Returns nil when the inputted line is empty and user inputs EOF (Presses ^D on UNIX).
Raises IOError exception if one of below conditions are satisfied.
stdin was closed.
stdout was closed.
This method supports thread. Switches the thread context when waits inputting line.
Supports line edit when inputs line. Provides VI and Emacs editing mode. Default is Emacs editing mode.
NOTE: Terminates ruby interpreter and does not return the terminal status after user pressed ‘^C’ when wait inputting line. Give 3 examples that avoid it.
Catches the Interrupt exception by pressed ^C after returns terminal status:
require "readline"
stty_save = `stty -g`.chomp
begin
while buf = Readline.readline
p buf
end
rescue Interrupt
system("stty", stty_save)
exit
end
end
end
Catches the INT signal by pressed ^C after returns terminal status:
require "readline" stty_save = `stty -g`.chomp trap("INT") { system "stty", stty_save; exit } while buf = Readline.readline p buf end
Ignores pressing ^C:
require "readline" trap("INT", "SIG_IGN") while buf = Readline.readline p buf end
Can make as follows with Readline::HISTORY constant. It does not record to the history if the inputted line is empty or the same it as last one.
require "readline" while buf = Readline.readline("> ", true) # p Readline::HISTORY.to_a Readline::HISTORY.pop if /^\s*$/ =~ buf begin if Readline::HISTORY[Readline::HISTORY.length-2] == buf Readline::HISTORY.pop end rescue IndexError end # p Readline::HISTORY.to_a print "-> ", buf, "\n" end
Specifies a File object input that is input stream for Readline.readline method.
Returns the index of the current cursor position in Readline.line_buffer.
The index in Readline.line_buffer which matches the start of input-string passed to completion_proc is computed by subtracting the length of input-string from Readline.point.
start = (the length of input-string) - Readline.point
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Set the index of the current cursor position in Readline.line_buffer.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
See Readline.point.
Returns an inspect() string summarizing the object state.
Decompresses string. Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression.
This method is almost equivalent to the following code:
def inflate(string) zstream = Zlib::Inflate.new buf = zstream.inflate(string) zstream.finish zstream.close buf end
See also Zlib.deflate
Return true if the named file exists.
file_name can be an IO object.
“file exists” means that stat() or fstat() system call is successful.
Returns true if the named file is writable by the effective user and group id of this process. See eaccess(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not writable by the effective user/group.
Returns true if the named file is a symbolic link.
Returns true if the named file has the sticky bit set.
file_name can be an IO object.
Initiates garbage collection, even if manually disabled.
This method is defined with keyword arguments that default to true:
def GC.start(full_mark: true, immediate_sweep: true); end
Use full_mark: false to perform a minor GC. Use immediate_sweep: false to defer sweeping (use lazy sweep).
Note: These keyword arguments are implementation and version dependent. They are not guaranteed to be future-compatible, and may be ignored if the underlying implementation does not support them.
